    Me again :o

    Well my watch is nearly done and the scoring sash is handed over to Fay.

    Can I just say that we have all done extremely well. Even entering a target is a big step and well done to everyone :T Not too sure about our new home but will get used to it I suppose. I just hope that new members will find us and be inspired to join in our challenge.

    So as the midnight hour draws near and my time as scorer comes to an end I wish you a good night and I am off to scour the outer reaches of the forum and will see you all tomorrow

    Take care

    Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong, Bong ,Bong,

    Fay over to you ;)

    Thank you very much Ange.

    Might bump into you later tonight as you are a wandering the boards ;)
  • Hi YM, Thanks for scoring this month - yay!!
    Can see you're on here too. Just dropping in to kiss goodbye to a rubbish month, confirm I only made 3 AFDs (more than I used to though) have had lots of hangovers and want October to be different.

    Please can you put me down for 10 this month Fay,

    G'night all!

    An astonishingly bad end to the month for me YM so my figure sticks, no jumpy :( but thanks so much for the fantastic scoring :D

    Good luck Fay for the month ahead :)

    I think we need to start a petition to have this thread moved back.

    -

    I have been (genuinely) locking my purse in my desk at work - I had money last night for loo roll etc but aside that NOWT - it gets me through the weaker moments as I'd need to drive to get my purse..........

    Just paid my rent - am now poor again (which is normal) I love those few minutes when there is enough money for the rent and then you sigh and pay it :rotfl:

    Positive things that have happened to me so far today.....

    I woke up
    Kids didn't give me any grief
    Coffee tasted particularly good
    No lost shoes, bags or other bits which ensues in a panic
    Got to childminder on time
    No traffic so got to work early

    and the best one so far.........
    Colleague text me enroute to work and asked if I wanted a bacon sarnie as she was going to the cafe and I had forgotten to make breakfast :D:D :drool:
